Let me demonstrate through an illustration (ableit a fanciful one) how the U.S. health care system takes care of everyone.
Let's assume for a moment that Muhammed Atta, the pilot of one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center, had miraculously survived impact. Let's also pretend -- also miraculously -- that a New York City fireman had reached Mr. Atta and had taken him down, alive, to the street below and placed him in an ambulance. Let's also pretend that Mr. Atta's ambulance got him to a New York City hospital before any of the other victims of the terrorist attack. Do you know that despite Mr. Atta not being a citizen or a legal immigrant in the U.S and despite the fact that Mr. Atta was responsible for thousands of deaths that, by law, the New York City hospital and its staff would have had to treat Mr. Atta before anyone else even his victims?
